Chapter Four Hundred and Eighty-Fourth [Stupid Emperor (Part 2)]
Chapter 484 [Substitute Emperor (Part 2)]
"I...my wife's name is..." Groom seemed to be infected by Du Wei's peaceful attitude, or he finally relaxed a little and began to talk about his family. He was a tailor, and his wife actually also
She was once a palace maid, but she was dismissed from the palace when she got older.
Groom himself worked as a palace tailor and earned a fairly good income, so he bought a piece of land in his hometown. Now his wife and daughters are living peacefully in his hometown... Although it is not rich, at least they have enough food and clothing.
Du Wei seemed to be listening with great interest. He kept drawing pictures on Grum's face with his hands, looking for the most suitable angle. At the same time, he did not forget to ask casually something like "Oh, and
What? Oh, is that so?" Such words.
Finally, when everything was completed, Du Wei let go of this guy's face, took two steps back, and took a closer look. He was quite satisfied with his results. The peace on his face quickly faded away.
His expression is very serious!
Seeing the adult's suddenly gloomy expression, Groom's heart suddenly sank.
"Grum..." Duwei stared closely into the other person's eyes: "I know you are not an idiot, you are a smart man. Then I will not deceive you. What will be the outcome of this matter?
, I think since you have been in the palace for so long, you can guess something."
Grum was stunned for a while, then started to cry, sobbing, "I don't want to die, sir, I can't die, I still have a wife and daughter... Poor Lina is still waiting for me to go back,
And my little Fenna. I still want to see her grow up and get married... Wuwuwuwu, sir, please, please spare my life."
The expression on Du Wei's face did not change at all, but he was sighing in his heart.
Gently, one of his hands fell on Grum's shoulder: "Grum, I don't want to lie to you... because there is no doubt that you will die this time. After the matter is over, I miss you
You should understand that this kind of thing will not leave you alive."
Grum's body felt like an electric shock. Even though he had been panicking, he should have thought of it a long time ago, but when Du Wei said this answer himself, the man's body softened and he almost collapsed on the ground.
He is not a warrior, nor is he a big shot. Unfortunately, he is just an ordinary person, a tailor, a little cowardly, a little timid, and a little vulgar little tailor.
"I sympathize with you, but I can't change your fate." Du Wei patted his shoulder: "But, although your fate has been determined, you still have to finish this matter well... Excellent
"For your wife and daughter." Du Wei's words made him quiet down: "If you don't try your best to do this well, if you deliberately ruin it, then Grum,
You should know better than me what will happen if you anger the regent! And similarly, if you do this well, even if you die in the end... I guarantee that your wife and daughter will also get a share.
The generous remuneration is enough for them to live a wealthy and peaceful life! Your daughters will get married in the future, and they will have their lives and their future..."
When Du Wei said this, he sighed again, thought about his words, and continued slowly: "Maybe it's a bit cruel for me to say this. It doesn't matter. You might as well consider this matter from another angle: You have done a great job in this matter.
After this incident, for your wife and daughter, use your life to obtain a life guarantee for them!"
Otherwise, Groom's body would no longer tremble.
This man was moved by Du Wei's last words!
After a long period of silence, even the sky outside the hall had completely darkened. Groom, as if he had been thinking about it for a lifetime, finally raised his head.
His eyes finally looked a bit manly.
"Can I get your guarantee, sir?" His voice was a little hoarse.
"Yes, you have my guarantee."
"My wife can live without worries about food and clothing until she grows old." Groom cried silently.
"Yes, she will definitely do it." Du Wei's voice was serious: "She will get a farm and have enough family property to live on."
"And my daughters... two daughters, Fenna and Xiao Yilian, oh, goddess, Fenna is fourteen years old, she will be an adult next year and will get married... and... Xiao Yi
Lian, she is only nine years old."
"I promise you as a nobleman that your two daughters will have a happy life. Fenna's future husband will be a good man with a decent status and job! Your youngest daughter is nine years old.
Elian will also get a good education and live a happy life with no worries about food and clothing! And...I will send people to move your wife and daughter to Luolin Plain, where they will be taken care of."
Groom clenched his fists hard, as if he was desperately trying to muster up courage. Despite Duwei's promise, the fear of death is not something that can be overcome.
Fortunately, after a while, Groom finally stood up. Although his fists were shaking a little and his face was still pale, fortunately, he finally stood up.
Afterwards, the man wiped away the tears and snot on his face vigorously, and then reported all the information including his home address, the full names of his wife and daughter, and so on.
Although there was no need for him to reveal this information at all, Du Wei could just send someone to ask. But at this moment, in order to appease the poor man, Du Wei memorized the information in a serious manner in front of him.
Come down.
Then, as if he had been comforted, Groom finally felt relieved.
His spirit seemed to be much more relaxed.
"Have a good rest. Don't wash your face tonight. Don't wipe off what I painted on your face. It will be useful tomorrow." Du Wei helped the man sit back on the bed with his own hands, and then said warmly: "I just said
The bottle of potion I gave you to drink will make you sleep very comfortably, but when you wake up tomorrow morning, your throat will be very sore, and you need to be patient. Because you know... the way you speak is so...
Your Majesty, there is a big difference. I can only use medicine to change your voice."
Just when Du Wei was about to leave, Groom suddenly grabbed Du Wei's sleeve: "Sir, I hope to complete this task well."
Du Wei smiled, and he understood this man's mentality: since he is destined to die, he might as well finish it properly, so that he can hope to get a generous guarantee for his relatives.
"Believe me, I want it to be completed smoothly just like you, and... I'm very good at helping people disguise..." Du Wei said this almost subconsciously, but after he finished speaking, his heart suddenly thumped!
Du Wei's expression changed instantly, but he hid it very well and did not show it in front of Grum.
He turned and left the palace. When he walked out of the steps, the words that Prince Chen said before he left here echoed in his heart:
"According to what I know, you should be an excellent master of disguise. You have the superb ability to disguise a person."
Why did he say this?! What did he mean by this?!
A thought flashed through Du Wei's mind. Obviously, there was only one answer: Prince Chen knew about Hussein!!
He knew Hussein’s disguised appearance and identity, and what he was hiding under his hands!!
How did he know?!
Since Prince Chen knows this kind of secret, how much else does he know?
Does he know what he did to the "future princess"? I'm afraid no husband would allow other men to do that kind of thing to his fiancée!
Does he know that he used Princess Louise to play a "speed dating" game? I'm afraid no brother would tolerate his sister being molested like this!!
Prince Chen...how many secrets does he know about himself?!
Taking a deep breath, Du Wei looked at the night sky and warned himself repeatedly: Calm down! Calm down!
He quickly clarified his thoughts: If Prince Chen knew that Hussein was by his side, when did he know it? He had never mentioned this matter before. Today he suddenly mentioned it, so what?
Because he only learned this secret recently?
recent……
Du Wei's eyes lit up.
Perhaps, Prince Chen did not get the source of the news from himself. It was not that there was a traitor within his family and a hidden connection between Prince Chen. It was most likely that the news was leaked from inside the temple.
Very likely.
The church and the royal family have been fighting for almost a thousand years, and neither side has ever really defeated the other. In the long process of a thousand years of struggle, you have me, and I have you. It is not a surprising thing.
.It is not surprising for each other to insert a few Infernal Affairs into each other's camp.
Well, that must be the case. Prince Chen must have only recently learned the secret that he took in Hussein!!
After Du Wei made this decision in his mind, he opened this palace.
Because of this special incident, Du Wei did not go back to live in the Tulip Duke's Palace in the imperial capital. Instead, he stayed directly in the palace that night.
The five hundred cavalry he brought with him were also temporarily stationed with the palace guards.
That night, Du Wei didn't even close his eyes, thinking hard about the solution to this matter.
Or... just declare outright that little Prince Charlie will inherit the throne! As for what others say, it doesn't matter! Anyway, the power is in Chen's hands. He does not sit in the position of emperor, but gives it to his son.
Sitting is also a matter for the royal family. As for criticism, let others criticize it!
And the church will definitely object... of course! This is equivalent to Prince Chen completely destroying the church.
But Paul XVI knew that there would be an invasion of sinners in the near future. Would he dare to openly fall out with the royal family at such a time? Does he have the courage? Regardless of the overall situation?
I don’t even dare to measure him! Maybe I’ll just knock out my front teeth and swallow it in my stomach.
Well...but...
Du Wei then thought about it, at this moment, he dared to send people to the northwest to plot against him, which in itself was an act of "disregard for the overall situation."
Don’t place your hopes on the Pope’s character!
Thinking about the latter half of the night, Du Wei himself couldn't help but feel a little irritable: Damn it! It's his royal family's problem to worry about! Why should I worry about it! A scandal is a scandal! That scandal also fell on the royal family! They want to fall out with the church.
, it was Prince Chen who topped the vat first! I will still be my Grand Duke of Tulips in the northwest!
Although Du Wei thought about it angrily for a while, Du Wei finally knew about this matter. Prince Chen could not let him relax. After all, he was his most trusted minister. For an emperor, at this time, the direct lineage was to take advantage of him.
Come to work hard!
When it was just dawn, Du Wei got up and walked out of his room.
Outside the residence where he was arranged, there were palace waiters waiting all night long. When they saw the Tulip Duke leaving the door, they immediately panicked several waiters. The leader hurriedly came up to greet him: "Sir,
Is it because living here is uncomfortable? Or are these clumsy guys not attentive to their service?"
Du Wei smiled: "If you can't even live in the palace comfortably, I'm afraid there will be no comfortable place in the world." He looked at the frightened head of the palace waiter and said with a smile: "I am used to living in the bitter cold places in the northwest.
I can't sleep in the gentle countryside here."
The leader of the palace attendants quickly put on a smile and patted the horse over: "Yes! The Duke guards the borders of the country, so naturally he does not care about these enjoyments. But only you, the Duke, can be favored by the regent and be qualified to be in this palace.
If you spend the night here, how could you be so favored by someone else?"
Du Wei smiled slightly, then took out a few gold coins from his arms and threw them away, saying calmly: "Where are the people I brought yesterday? Are they all at the Royal Forest Army's station? Send someone to call my captain of the guard.
